The AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, home of the Oklahoma RedHawks, is located in the heart of Bricktown.
Its old fashioned concept is reminiscent of many of the country's older parks, with an asymmetrical
playing field and intimate seating configuration, harkening back to when baseball was a game, played in a park.
This unique field configuration is intended to provide for the home field advantage as well as add to the excitement of the game.
Fan seating is brought close to the field of play, wrapping gently around the field, improving lines of sight.

Bricktown began as a wholesale commercial district in the early days before statehood.
It is in an area of town that was the heart of four railroad companies' operations.
The railroads carried the wealth of the new territory to world markets.
Cotton was the most important crop but other commodities carried to market were cattle, horses, grain, fruit and produce.
To accommodate this commerce a community of unique brick buildings was built east of the Santa Fe tracks.
